Sandals Barbados

Our second Sandals Barbados vacation was as good or better than the first. We love this resort because we can really relax and enjoy all it has to offer. 4 star atmosphere, 4 star beach and 4 star restaurants. We also enjoy meeting the other guests and have made great lasting friendships. We plan on visiting all the sandals. Barbados was our first and fourth as we love this one so much. JP Drake is the resort manager and his work culture and style are what I believe make Sandals Barbados stand out among the best of the best.

This hotel is utter paradise from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the warmth of the staff (and weather!). Not a single staff member walked past us throughout the stay without greeting us, wishing us well, or stopping to help — they truly go above and beyond and make you feel incredibly welcome. You really feel the genuine Barbados culture here. The food quality is unreal. If you ate at these restaurants in the UK, you’d easily be paying £100+. Breakfast at Parisienne was a highlight — the eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes were outstanding. Chi is a must-visit too, especially for the crispy chilli beef, which was absolutely incredible. We also highly recommend the Jerk Hut. The grounds are immaculate and clearly very well cared for. You can see how hard the staff work to keep everything pristine. The on-site coffee shops deserve a special mention — Starbucks-standard coffees every day, which we genuinely looked forward to. There are plenty of pools to suit everyone: smaller, quieter pools for relaxing, a rooftop pool, and an infinity pool with great tunes playing, which added such a fun atmosphere. Sandals and Sandals Royal all blend into one so if you stay at either of these, you would receive very similar service. We are a couple in our late 20s and this hotel was perfect for us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and are already looking at booking our return. Truly an unforgettable stay. The only thing I can comment on is that the bathroom was not as modern as I feel a 5 star would offer. However this did not affect our stay.

If you're interested in good customer service go to another property. We are world travelers and have visited Sandals Grenada, Curacao and Jamaica Dunn's River. Sandals Barbados was the worst! It started off with transportation from the airport not being available for 30+ minutes and no one really telling us what was going on. Just told us to stand by the curb. Finally they called a taxi. My assumption is the shuttle left us. Most of the staff on the resort are rude and appear to not want to be there. We had spotty housekeeping services, the shuttle left my husband after a golf tour. Half the bowling alley was out of service and the side that worked the score board was broken. The food was sub-par. Nothing that blew our socks off. No Christmas announcements for activities that day or any other day and the Sandals App wasn't accurate. I appreciate Sade and DeShonte in Club Sandals, Donesa in the Loyalty office, Monique in the spa, the bartenders and gardeners who actually spoke to us unlike everyone else! We won't be back. We'll spend our dollars somewhere our patronage is welcomed. Trust this review and try a different Sandals!! We loved Curacao, Grenada and Dunn'sRiver!!

i could not fault the hotel, location or service the room was excellent and spotlessly clean. The choice of restaurants was fantastic and all served excellent food. The drinks were good brands and also all part of the all inclusive price, as were the good wines. The very expensive wines were available at an extra cost but that was fair enough. The service throughout was exemplary. The choice of swimming pools was brilliant

We have been here from 6th December 2025 to 21st December 2025. We were in a club level suite (room 1406) looking over the main pool and the ocean. I dont know how people can write a negative review. From checking in with the concigern to departdure day its has been amazing. FOOD Excellant variation of restaurants on both sides. We have not had a bad meal since we have been here. Expextional restaurants were Soy (sushi), Neptunes seafood, Butch chop house on the barbados side. Royal side was good but feel the service better in barbados. The Chi asian is also amazing ROOM We booked a club level suite. Beautiful room, great housekeeping and loved the mini bar opition. POOLS So many to choose from. Quite to party atmosphere. Both main pools are great. Service on the swim up bar is sometimes a little slow due to how busy they are. BARS 12 bars to choose from. Have a bar crawl through the evening. Well worth it espically the piano bar with Nakeem serving! Entertainment Little to be desired, mainly centered the entertainment around the Royal side and neglect the Barbados side. Entertainmeny team also non existant. Overall this resort is a 9/10 and would definitly return and recommend.
